  1. "I’m ambivalent about my career. I like it the way it is, because it doesn’t interfere with my life." — Barbara Feldon (in 1976)

  2. The 1967-68 UK TV series Man in a Suitcase takes the basic ITC action-adventure formula and adds a hardboiled flavour, real toughness, grittiness, plus seedy downmarket glamour. And more than a hint of film noir. The best of all the ITC series.

  3. Peter Leslie’s The Cornish Pixie Affair, from 1967, the fifth original novel based on the TV spy series The Girl from UNCLE starts with a murder in a circus (a setting that is used extremely well). Statuettes of pixies play a role. Enjoyable.

  4. Three 1964 episodes of my favourite US anthology series, The Outer Limits. The Invisible Enemy has sand sharks on Mars. It's OK. Wolf 359 is excellent -scientists create a miniature world. I, Robot is quite good - a robot is tried for murder.

  5. Rod Serling's The After Hours, still my all-time favourite episode of The Twilight Zone. Has that wonderful subtle sense of slowly increasing unease. Great performance by Anne Francis. I've seen it many times and I like it more each time.

  6. Stay Tuned is a Tara King episode of The Avengers, and it's a corker. Steed has a Groundhog Day experience (24 years before that film came out). Clever twisted story, with a fine fight scene between Linda Thorson and Kate O’Mara. TV bliss.

  8. This week in 1960 — “40 Detectives Later” aired on ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS.

    It was the TV writing debut of the prolific #HenrySlesar, future Emmy winner for THE EDGE OF NIGHT.

    #ArthurHiller directed. #JamesFranciscus and #JackWeston star. A delightful piece of #FilmNoir w/ Slesar’s typical twist ending.
